The German people are always synonymous with restraint and efficacy, but who knew how lovely and descriptive their language is?
The authors Rainer Maria Rilke, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, and Hilde Domin speak German and legendary Mozart, Bach, and Beethoven.
As a pet lover, you can translate this affection into German by assigning German cat names to your felines.
We have prepared this comprehensive list of all the interesting and adorable names to help you hunt.
